Special Notice

I hate that I even have to make this abundantly clear, but there has been an accusation thrown around, so let me put this to bed here and now.

• I used AI in a singular project to help flesh out a plan.md file to help me avoid Feature Creep. In my 20+ years of programming, including web design and front end/backend development, its the one thing that has killed more of my projects than anything else.
• No, I do not use AI in any of my coding projects in any way that ever becomes public facing. The code you get from me is authored by my hands alone. I'd rather do it by hand than spend 2-3 hours fixing things I could have done myself in an hour or less.
• That will never change as I have a very strong stance on taking the lazy way out in everything I do.

End of the day, if you have suggestions not on this list or even suggestions of how I can pull off the above, lemme hear em. I'm making this more than just for myself, I'm making it for anyone who wants this in their world.

Keep the ideas flowing guys and we can make this the best mod it can be!
